Unhappiness is perhaps the most important disease of our age, or maybe the corona ...
We shop to be happy. We make a lover to be happy and marry to be happy. We strive to earn more money and acquire more property to be happy.
We always try to do something to be happy, whereas happiness is a feeling or a state of being. Everything else can be a cause, but not a goal.
For example, if we shop to be happy, even if we experience temporary happiness, we feel obliged to shop again to be happy again. The main thing that makes us happy is not shopping, but the belief that we will be happy when we shop. In short, you have set a goal for happiness, and we feel happy when you reach that goal. But because the belief that shopping gives happiness is still there, we move away from being happy with the desire to shop again in order to keep this happiness permanent. Because the destination is still there, outside.
However, the real happiness is to be. We are happy, we don't need anything else. We are just so happy.
So how can we keep happiness even more? If we have reasons to be happy, we feel happy. And we have countless reasons to be happy. Of course, these reasons may vary by person, but basically we can all be happy for the following reasons:
To be healthy (If we are not sick enough to prevent our life, we are healthy.)
Our loved ones (If there is even someone we love and love us, it is enough to be happy.)
To exist (Maybe we don't even need any other reason to be happy if we can think, feel, breathe ...)
Small successes (Even one small achievement gives as much happiness as gigantic success.)
To love (Loving indicates that our hearts are open. Loving is perhaps happier than being loved.)
To be positive (Thinking positively is very important for being happy. Thinking positively makes you feel positive. Happiness is a positive emotion, and thinking negatively does not bring happiness.)
Loving oneself (If a person loves himself, he does not need anything else and becomes happy. Loving yourself, knowing his own worth, accepting himself as he is, getting rid of the need to seek happiness outside.)
Feeling happiness within us (In order to be happy, we don't even need the cause. If it is inside us, it is unnecessary to look outside.)
Thinking about our spirituality can also help feel genuine happiness.
